All language subtitles for Family Law s02e09

Previously on Family Law. He wants a
child custody and access evaluation.

I have to get back to Mr.

December. We had a lot of fun doing that
calendar.

Yes, you did.

Had to humiliate me? Make a fool of
yourself on the way out? Oh, please,

Keep talking to me about humiliating
encounters at the Wedgwoods.

Your daughter Sophia mentioned a video
that wound up on YouTube almost a year

ago. Her peers still tease her about it.
And the children can no longer have any

contact with their maternal grandmother.

What? You know what I like most about
her?

What? You're way less uptight around
her. I'm not uptight.

From now on, all media requests get
vetted through me. Just wanted to drop

off. Basic separation agreement. I found
it online.

It's okay.

You're going to be okay.

Mom, when will JoJo be back?

She had to go out of town for a couple
of days.

But she asked me to tell you she misses
you.

We were supposed to play Catan.

Maybe you and I could play after school.

Teach me how to hoard sheep.

Hey, you, stop wasting data.

It's research from my world issues
report.

Research celebrity gossip doesn't count.

Oh, my God.

Sophia. Earlier today, disturbing
footage surfaced online of Charisma

23 -year -old star of the hit series
Whip It.

Isn't that that singing -dancing show
you like?

This marks the second incident since
Charisma posted an incoherent tweet last

Thursday about her on -again, off -again
boyfriend, aspiring DJ Alpha Dog.

I don't think she's a good role model
for young people.

Have a good day.

How is she?

Maggie had a placenta abruption.

Okay.

Her placenta partially detached from the
uterus and it's causing her to bleed.

Is she going to be all right? She needs
an emergency cesarean section.

She's on her way to the operating room
now.

Do you have power of attorney?

Yeah. Yeah, why?

We may need someone to make medical
decisions on Maggie's behalf.

I'll get back to you when there's more
news.

Excuse me. You're excused.

Oh, good. You're both here.

I have a new case with a valued client.

I need you both on it. Dad, whatever it
is, I'm sure you and I can handle it

ourselves. I want all hands on deck for
this one.

What time should I book the boardroom?

That won't be necessary.

We're going to her.

You visitors are here.

Hello, Charisma.

Daniel, Abigail, meet Charisma Singall.

You can't prove it. Oh, oh. You got
nothing legit.

Oh, oh.

The glove don't fit. Oh, oh.

You got to acquit. Oh, oh.

The charges won't sneak us out.

Good to see you again. Though, I wish
the circumstances could be less... Girl

interrupted.

Well, at least the jello here is good.

Harry mentioned it was your brother who
forced you into a 72 -hour psychiatric

hold. Yeah, it's an issue that I'm a
danger to myself.

To be fair, you did look... close to
jumping in that video i know how it

believe me connor brought these shrooms
and i wanted to try them and then i saw

the paparazzi camped outside again
trying to catch me in a hot mess moment

thought maybe if i gave them what they
wanted they would leave me alone and now

tanish wants to petition for a
conservatorship over you yeah whatever

it's a form of adult guardianship tanish
would control nearly every decision of

your life financial medical whether you
have access to your phone or internet

He'd even have the authority to decide
whom he'd date.

Seriously? The real danger of a
conservatorship is it strips the

the legal rights to escape from it.

Look, Tanisha took care of me after her
parents died, but I'm 23.

I'm not a child anymore.

Exactly. A conservatorship is generally
the last resort for people who are

unable to take care of themselves,
people with disabilities or dementia.

Opposing counsel would need to prove
that you are too mentally incapacitated.

To make your own decisions.

Which a boob flash won't do.

How do you know Charisma? Four years
ago, she hired me to get her marriage

annulled. I remember that.

Tabloid's out of field day.

I'll be honest, up until a few hours
ago, I had no idea who she was.

Even I've heard of Whippet.

I was never into those shows. The O .C.,
Degrassi.

They all felt so juvenile.

Because you've been 65 since you were
10.

All right, see you in a couple hours.
Where are you going?

The deal with the man who wants to
control every aspect of my life.

My client would like to amend the
separation agreement.

Again? He wishes to ensure that Miss
Bianchi won't introduce any significant

others to the children without his
consent. And unless the relationship is

serious. You're kidding.

Serious is subjective.

We propose that the relationship needs
to be stable and monogamous for a

of one year. No judge would ever make
this order.

That's what this meeting is about?
You're punishing me for having a

The kids need a stable environment.

How do you think they'll feel when you
invite Mr. February over for dinner?

Mr. December.

And he's not the one leaving suggestive
texts on his phone for our children to

find. But while we're talking
amendments, what about the clause where

can't see her grandkids? We have a court
date in two weeks, which we all want to

avoid. But we can't do that when your
client keeps demanding last -minute

changes.

We'll leave this with you.

I've seen this a hundred times.

Trust me, Frank wants to avoid court
too.

They'll come back with a more reasonable
offer.

Mr. Singall and his lawyer are in the
boardroom. How'd it go with Frank?

Not well.

Daniel, someone for you in line one.

Beatrice Flanagan.

From the Flanagan report?

From England?

Does she have you confused with someone
important?

I think she said, we'd be delighted if
Mrs. Fenton joined us for an interview.

I better take this. We're about to meet
with her client. Five minutes.

Will your client be gracing us with her
presence?

Wait again.

This is becoming a habit with Chrisma.
She used to be so professional.

Maybe she's signing paperwork to leave
the psych ward you committed her to.

I'm worried about her. A conservatorship
isn't the answer. One isolated incident

doesn't prove my client is too
incapacitated to make her own decision.

this isn't one incident. It's a pattern.
Getting into fights at clubs, getting

high before talk show appearances.

Were it not for the excellent PR team my
client hired, Ms. Singhal's reputation

would be in shambles. It's not about her
reputation.

I don't want this conservatorship
either.

You think I want to take away my
sister's freedom?

You saw that video.

Charisma is becoming more erratic. And I
don't know how that...

I already lost my parents.

I won't lose my sister, too.

I can't believe Summer Barrington is
about to walk through those doors.

Now that's a twirl, girl.

The catchphrase?

Don't you watch Whippet? I saw season
one when I was 12.

Think she'll sign my book? You can ask
her.

Christmas single, where are they
meeting?

Good afternoon, Miss Singall.

Boardroom's this way.

Thanks. Hang out here. This won't take
long. I'm not leaving your side. Connor,

I'll be fine. Lucky I don't kick his
ass. Let's not make this a thing. I'm

making this a thing. Does he know who I
am? Can we not do this right now?

Should one of us do something?

You're her number one fan.

Young man, you need to use your inside
voice.

Take a seat.

Now.

This way.

So. Is he coming in to kick my ass? He's
just overprotective, like somebody else

I know. What do you see in that wannabe
rapper?

What, are you really going to date a guy
named Alpha Dog? That's just his stage

name. It's my life. I decide who I date.

Our client deeply regrets the incident
on the balcony.

She's willing to apologize to the
Whippet producers for any perceived

unprofessionalism, issue a public
statement, and submit to drug testing.

On the condition you withdraw your plea
for conservatorship.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I feel terrible for letting everyone
down.

It's bad for you.

I'm sorry.

I'm ashamed and I'm sorry.

That can never happen again.

Got it?

Never again.

Let's go. Hey, Summer.

Now that's a twirl girl.

Apparently, Beatrice Flanagan wants to
interview me about the Lasting Legacies

case. She described it as precedent
-setting. Great news. Meanwhile, your

and I have been serving our clients
collaboratively, I might add. Why the

does she want to talk to you about a
case I brought in? Because I'm a

Or maybe Beatrice just finds me more
likable. Oh, that's a joke, right?

to nail that sarcastic British humor?

Uh, Danny has a point. Your reputation
could distract from the firm's win.

I want you to run all the talking points
by me before the interview.

We don't want a repeat of the business
in Vancouver fiasco.

Hey, brought supplies.

Takeout, change of clothes, phone
charger.

Thank you.

How's Maggie?

No news yet.

I called her parents, but they're stuck
on a crew.

Spent a lot of time in hospitals as a
kid.

My mom was fighting cancer.

I was right there, but I...

Couldn't do anything to help her.

I feel like I'm not a kid again.

Maggie will be okay.

We'll see.

It's more fun to play with a variable
game board, but...

Since you've never played before, we'll
use the beginner's map.

Okay.

Sophia, do you hear that?

Hear what?

The call of Catan saying, come play,
please.

You don't need me for this.

It is designed for three or four
players.

Charisma is her own worst enemy.

She was breaking up with Connor like
Tanisha had asked. The paparazzi

let her leave.

She broke the guy's foot.

She's not the first child celebrity to
go off the rails.

The only thing people love more than
building celebrities up is tearing them

down.

Charisma's been working since she was
eight.

TV shows, music tours.

She's got nine million followers. She's
a brand.

Can't do that without brains and
business sense.

How do you know all this? Charisma
things.

Finding myself through my voice. You
read her autobiography.

It was both moving and poetic.

Charisma really bare its soul.

That'll mean so much to her ghostwriter.

Yannick just called. He's petitioning
the court for the conservatorship.

Surprising no one. Daniel, get
Charisma's permission to obtain her

records from the psych ward.

Abigail, speak to her co -workers. See
if we can get them to swear affidavits.

Co -workers? I have to talk to more
actors?

Can I go?

If you need someone to take notes.

This is Abigail.

Nico's with you for a few days, and he's
pulling fire alarms? Don't blame this

all on me.

You're obviously Mrs. Joanne, so if
you'd like to explain... Is that...

What? I get chancy that hours after I
tell you I'm uncomfortable with you

introducing new partners to our
children, your boyfriend happens to

school? Yep.

You got me, Frank.

I caused Nico into pulling the alarm.
This was my plan all along.

Pulling a fire alarm can be tempting,
but when we come here on a false alarm,

stops us from putting out real fire
somewhere else.

I didn't think of that.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Bianchi?

Ms. Bianchi?

Abby?

Hi, Mom.

This is your kid. Our kid, actually.

How do you know each other?

Through work.

Why don't we speak privately?

Both Maggie and the baby are stable.

Oh, thank God.

Maggie did well in surgery.

She needed a blood transfusion, but
she's in the recovery room now.

As for the baby, she... She?

It's a girl. Congratulations.

Your baby was taken to the neonatal ICU.

Is she going to be okay?

She's doing well. But because she
arrived so early, we'll need to keep her

to monitor her.

While Maggie recovers, the baby would
benefit from some skin -on -skin contact

and help with feeding.

Yeah, right. I can do that. I can do
both those things.

Pulling a fire alarm is a serious
offense.

We promise this won't happen again.

I'll talk to him about it at home. This
isn't about one thing.

Nico has been perking his schoolwork,
and Coach Krebs tells me Nico skipped

dodgeball twice this week.

To be fair, dodgeball is a universally
hated sport.

How long have you suspended for this
time?

Three days.

If I weren't already slammed enough.

I'll rearrange my schedule and take
Nico. No, no. This is my time with him.

How will you take care of him when
you're so slammed?

You know, it'll be tough without Joanne,
but why don't I just drop him off at

the fire hall with Aiden?

Nico can learn all about fire safety.

are my talking points for the Flanagan
interview.

Great. I'll take a look after I finish
this.

Nico! Hi, Grandpa.

Hey. Hi,

Uncle Daniel.

Hi. What brings my grandson here on a
school day? I'll explain later. I have

be on the Whippet set in half an hour.
Would you mind? It is my pleasure to

spend the afternoon with my grandson.

Thank you. All right, Nico. Be good
while I'm gone.

One thing I bet you didn't know is that
a pug's selective breeding makes it

difficult for them to breathe.

It also makes it so that they have
trouble blinking and staying cool.

Good to know.

Oh, my God!

It's Summer's locker!

And this is where Blake has her to prom?

And that's where Summer sang about it!

Can I sit at her desk?

Stop fanboying.

Who's affidavit do you want to get
first?

Who's that?

Lexi. Summer's frenemy.

Pure evil.

Charisma is such a gift.

This is so embarrassing, but I actually
got into acting after watching her in

Whip It Junior High. Wasn't she
phenomenal in that?

Mm -hmm.

How would you describe Charisma's
behavior on set?

So talented.

She never burned out, always kills her
choreo. I swear she makes everyone look

bad.

Especially me.

Brandy, what are you talking about? You
were amazing in your finale solo.

Oh, my God. I was so awkward.

You don't even know. Did Charisma ever
behave unprofessionally on set? She was

always super profesh.

But that manager.

Her brother.

I know I shouldn't have done it.

Nothing. All boys your age go through a
rebellious phase.

Your turn.

Did you pull the fire alarm, too?

No. But my friends and I stole our
geography teacher's toupee and

to the founder's statue.

Dawn of the Hall was livid.

Donald Paul?

Boarding school.

So you live far away from home?

Mm -hmm.

But that was nice.

The freedom was, yes, but sometimes I
missed my parents.

My mother more than my father.

I don't know why I did it.

I was in the hall, and I saw the fire
alarm, and I wanted to do it.

Just to make something happen.

Instead of things happening to you.

Yeah.

Did it feel just a little better after
you did it?

Not really.

But at least I got out of P.

Everyone loves charisma.

But Tanisha's a nightmare.

How so?

Where do I start?

Always arguing with wardrobe to make
charisma's hemlines more modest.

Eyeing her interactions with male co
-stars.

Tanisha saw her drinking champagne at a
rap party and he flipped.

Sounds like he's pretty hard on her.

Well, last season she tore her Achilles
tendon.

And we offered to take her out of the
final dance number. Give her more time

heal. Tanisha.

Freaked.

Freaked? Why?

He said that we were making a big deal
out of nothing, and that she could still

dance. To his credit, he was right. It
was Charisma's best performance after

their special Bollywood prom episode.

So, Tanish made Charisma dance on an
injury?

She was 100 % fine during the sheet.

One day she was hobbling on set, next
day she was doing monkey flips.

Adrenaline, I guess.

Hey, Ben, Zach won't come out of his
trailer again.

Excuse me.

Which one of these do you think is
better for the Flanagan interview?

Neither. The prints are too busy.

You want my opinion?

I'm good.

I've ordered you a ring light and an
external mic for the interview.

And I picked up some face powder.

I've noticed your forehead can get a
little shiny.

Hopefully you got plenty of that face
powder because Daniel's got a huge head.

Would you mind documenting today?

Craig's been anxiously attached to the
whole Kyle extortion piasco.

I can watch him.

Perfect. Perfect.

Craig's toys are in my bottom drawer.

Vibrating shrimp is his favorite.

As for his feeding schedule, it's a
quarter cup of raw food at 11 and a half

at 4.

He likes his water filtered at room
temperature.

Do you need a pen to take this all down?

I am.

What's a vibrating shrimp?

Please don't touch anything in my
office.

I'm heading out to buy a new tie.

See you in doubt at the courthouse. Oh,
I forgot my iPad at home.

Why don't you just use Uncle Daniel's
computer?

Fans have gathered in support of
Superstar Charisma's single. While no

are permitted in the courtroom, we can
confirm this case involves her manager

and brother, Denise Singles, who is
petitioning the court for

over the 23 -year -old actress.

We'll continue to follow this story
closely.

Dinesh. After the tragic death of your
parents, who stepped up to raise your

little sister?

I did.

Where is she? How is it possible for you
to act as surrogate parent while

attending Dalhousie? It wasn't.

I had to drop out and move back home.

My parents didn't have life insurance,
so I had to work full time.

Well, more than full time, you had to
work three jobs, in fact. I wanted

charisma to be able to keep up with the
singing and dancing lessons my parents

enrolled her in before they passed.

Well, it sounds like she showed a lot of
talent at a young age. She was

incredibly gifted, and she loved
performing.

On my days off, I would accompany
Charisma to open casting calls.

So it sounds like you sacrificed a lot
for your sister. I was happy to.

Our parents immigrated to Canada so we
could have more opportunities.

Her success is part of their legacy.

Charisma receives thousands of letters
every month from people she's inspired,

who see themselves represented in her.
She's a role model.

Who's setting a very bad example right
now.

Yes.

I know she'll never forgive herself if
she throws her career away while she's

not in her right mind.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Counsel, you may cross -examine.

I hear genuine concern in your voice
when you speak about your sister's

Tanish. I do wonder, though, does this
concern extend to Charisma's well

Of course it does.

I understand Charisma tore her Achilles
tendon the day before filming the season

six finale dance number.

She did. The on -set physician gave you
a requisition for an MRI.

Did you use it?

Of course.

When did you use it?

The following week.

You waited a week when she was in such
pain?

I wanted a second opinion.

So I took her to a different doctor. And
did that doctor recommend she return to

work the next day and dance for nine
hours with a serious injury?

No, but... How many doctors did you
visit before you found one who would

Charisma a prescription for painkillers?

Objection. Irrelevant.

I'll allow it.

Please answer the question, Mr. Tringle.

Four. Even though the Whippet writers
said they could write her out of the

finale to give her time.

To heal. If she didn't perform in the
big number, they might have given the

role in the college spin -off to that
Brandy girl.

So let me get this straight. You gave
your sister a highly addictive pain

medication, which opened the floodgates
to all her subsequent overindulgences.

Objection. Speculation.

Sustained.

One last question, Dinesh. What
percentage of your sister's earnings did

pocket that year?

Twenty. Your Honor.

Mr. Singhal clearly prioritizes his own
paycheck over his sister's health.

Alpha Dog in the house!

Where have you been?

City Hall.

Say hello to Mrs. Alpha Dog.

No recording devices.

And I'm done with intoxicated women in
my courtroom.

We'll recess until your client has a
chance to sober up.

Hey!

Go to the vending machine and get
charisma, coffee, and a bag of potato

Me, why don't you go? Just do it,
Daniel.

Uh, what time is it? I need to be on set
after this. Oh, okay.

Slash some water on your face. Do some
jumping jacks. If the window opens in

there, stick your head out for some
fresh air. And throw on some bright

if you have any.

Excuse me. I need to be with my wife.
You want to explain why you're stone

sober and Charisma is so drunk she can
barely find the bathroom door?

She's a lightweight.

It's against the law to say I do drunk.

A marriage license should never have
been issued.

Okay, boomer. Fine.

Fine now.

Apply to her alcohol before your
nuptials.

I will bring an action to annul the
marriage for lack of consent and sue you

costs.

Get the hell out of here!

So that's what you look like when your
paternal instincts kick in.

I'm going to take Charisma back to work.
I'll meet you back at the office.

How will you get past the cameras?

I can take you to the back entrance.

I don't have to say anything.

I know I messed up marrying Connor.

Harry will deal with it.

I'm so mad at myself.

Look, you're not the first person in the
world to drink too much and sober up

with regrets.

When I used to drink, I could barely get
myself into the office.

I don't know how you do it and pull off
14 -hour days on set.

I don't really have a choice.

I've had to work three times harder than
most people to get where I have.

If I'm not perfect, it doesn't just
reflect badly on me, but on my brother

my family name.

I feel like I'm letting down the
literally millions of brown girls who

show and want to be like me.

I cannot even imagine what it's like to
be you.

You know, on TV, I play this character,
and she's always making dumb decisions,

and everyone loves her. But in real
life, I have never been allowed to make

mistake.

So yeah, maybe I'm making some dumb
decisions these days, but at least

mine.

Nico and I are on a coffee break.

Never too early to immerse in corporate
culture.

Where is everyone?

Closed door meeting in Harry's office.

We'll be in touch shortly.

Sounds good.

What's going on?

Your brother and I agree it's best the
firm acts as Charisma's co -conservator.

Along with Tanish?

You just established in court he doesn't
have her best interests at heart. It

was Cedar, Abby.

She's a train wreck. Anyway, a co
-conservatorship would safeguard her

autocracy. We can protect her this way.

Tell me, what do you see when you look
at charisma?

Honestly, I see an unfortunate victim of
celebrity culture.

I see a lost girl who needs help finding
her way.

Well, I see a woman whose whole life has
been decided for her.

By her brother, by the media, by her
fans.

Everyone has an opinion on who she's
allowed to be. It's no wonder Charisma's

acting out. She's been put in a box.
She's trying to bust out of it. If you

go through with this co
-conservatorship, you are just as

else.

What do you say?

Thanks for the donut, Mom.

You're welcome.

Hi.

So let me get this straight.

Nico pulls the fire alarm, gets
suspended, and then gets taken out for

He's acting out.

He needs a little bit of extra
attention.

Where was that extra attention when I
got grounded for life?

Getting drunk is a lot worse than what
Nico did. Is it, though?

Getting drunk is practically right of
passage, but you and dad are acting like

murdered someone.

This is such a double standard.

I know.

I look like hell.

You look like a new parent.

I understand you've all come to some
sort of agreement?

That's right, Your Honor.

We'd like to propose a co
-conservatorship. No.

That is no longer on the table. We don't
believe our client should be placed

under any conservatorship whatsoever.

Your Honor, my co -counsel will be
taking it from here.

Miss Bianchi?

Why wasn't I made aware of this? Your
Honor, the entertainment industry is one

of the worst offenders for gender double
standards.

Women who fall from grace are objects of
titillation and ridicule, while men are

treated with gravity and given space for
recovery.

They can dangle babies over balconies
and lock tigers up in their personal

but still no one ever petitioned to have
these men placed under conservatorship.

Objection. This isn't a suffragette
rally.

Sit down.

Charisma is being made out to be crazy
because she's not acting the way the

world thinks a wholesome young female TV
star should act.

But since when does the general public
get to be the judge and jury of

life? Has charisma made mistakes?

Yes.

Does she have dependency issues?

Yes.

Does she have terrible taste in men?
Hell yes. But if she decides she wants

to... flash her breasts or blow her
entire fortune on some sad wannabe

that's her right.

We need to stop shrinking charisma into
that little girl we know from that TV

show.

She is a fully capable 23 -year -old
adult who does not need a

All she needs is for the people around
her to accept her for the

flawed, grown -ass woman she is.

Order. Order in the court.

Miss Singall, you have some issues that
you need to sort out.

That being said, I believe everyone has
the right to live his, her, or their

life any way they please, as long as it
doesn't infringe on someone else's

rights, which Miss Singall's
independence does not.

I dismiss the plaintiff's petition for
conservatorship.

Daniel?

Yes? You still need to go through your
talking points.

This case absolutely sets precedent for
laws relating to medically assisted

reproduction. Why is your voice so low?

What are you talking about? You're
posturing.

This case absolutely sets precedent.
Slow down, enunciate. For laws relating

medically assisted reproduction. Too
loud.

It became clear to me.

There was an opportunity.

Clear to whom? Clear to us. There was...
Name the firm, for God's sake. Clear to

us here at... What do you need your
notes for? Have you forgotten your own

name?

Ten -two. Need to go.

Wait, wait.

Your forehead is very shiny.

Precedent.

Precedent. Okay, okay, okay. Thank you.

No one is to enter or even pass by my
office while I'm doing this interview.

Starting now.

Thank you so much for having me, Ms.
Flanagan.

You seem to have some kind of filter on,
Mr. Sensen.

My apologies.

I don't know how that happened. I'll
disable it.

Take your time.

I assure you I am not a bug.

Dear God.

Please, come.

At least his forehead isn't shiny.

I need a drink.

Cecil. I think I forgot to turn off the
pug filter on Uncle Daniel's computer.

Am I in more trouble?

No, no.

This is awesome.

Cecil.

Cecil!

It was nice to meet Nico.

He seems like a great kid.

Yeah, when he's not causing public
mischief.

You know, a good friend of mine runs a
go -kart track.

The three of us should check it out
sometime.

The three of us?

Sophia, too, if she wants to come.

I don't know if... Or we can try indoor
rock climbing.

Aiden, no.

I'm not introducing anyone to the kids
unless the relationship is serious.

Oh.

Okay.

I just want to share the news with you
all that after six amazing years, I have

decided to leave Whippet.

Working on the show has been a truly
life -changing experience, and I will

forever be grateful.

But right now, I do need to take some
time to focus on my personal health.

After that, I might book a trip to
Calcutta, check out where my parents

born, maybe I'll do a play.

Who knows?

In the meantime, mad love to all my
fans.

Be kind to one another, fam.

Oh, good for her.

I can't believe the firm I work for is
responsible for ruining the only show on

television worth watching.

This has nothing to do with us.

Maybe the show was entirely charisma's
decision.

You got another postcard?

Oh, Nina.

Your words arrive when I need them most.

Good morning.

Great job on the Flanagan report.

Oh, wait. Was that you?

I'm confused. I can't tell you two
apart.

They do say dogs and their owners often
start to look alike.

You had an opportunity to promote this
firm, and you botched it. Why do you

that idiotic filter on your work
computer?

Nico must have put it on there. Oh,
blame it on your 11 -year -old nephew.

Classy, Daniel.

Your parenting report card.

It's not pretty.

How bad could it be?

This assessment was particularly
demanding.

There were many incompatible statements
I was unable to resolve.

Both children are grieving the loss of
their families. Sophia is acting out,

mimicking her mother's coping mechanism
by abusing alcohol.

Or maybe she's experimenting with
alcohol because she's a teenager.

The night I got drunk, my mom said she
was going to a business meeting.

She was clearly going on a date with a
rando.

I guess I just felt like if she's going
to do whatever the hell she wants and

lie about it, I will too.

Don't look so smug, Mr. Bianchi.

Here's what your son had to say.

I told dad I was going to FaceTime mom
and he took away my iPad for no reason.

He said mom was too busy with her work
to talk to me.

You told Nico I was too busy for him? I
was limiting his screen time. He had a

test the next day.

Sophia said that she had three
incompletes on her assignment because

keep track of her stuff when she
constantly has to shuffle between two

Because you decided not to move into the
basement suite.

So it's my fault Sophia can't employ her
backpack?

You will find a way to blame me for
literally anything.

Nico has become more withdrawn.

His grades are falling.

He called a teacher a bitch because he
said it's what his dad called his mom.

That was Principal Tan.

You two need to sort out your points of
contention now. If we go to court, this

all goes on public record.

So it's back to the bargaining table.

No.

I stand by my position.

You're seriously willing to risk your
reputation as a family lawyer just to

spite me?

The court's made the right call last
time.

I'm confident they'll make the right
call again.

Phil, then I guess we're going to court.

All my dirty laundry's already been
aired.

And in a few weeks...

I won't be a family lawyer anymore.

I assure you, I am not a bug.

Cecil!

I can't stop watching this.

Cecil!

It's not funny.

The interview isn't being rescheduled.
It's going to destroy my brand.

Let it.

Your brand is stuffy and uptight.

Now the world knows you're as funny as I
know you are.

Cecil!

You think I'm funny?

Daniel, you're the funniest person I've
ever met.

I assure you I am not a pug.

I need to check if I locked my bike.

After an exhausting day on trial,
Whippet's dark Christmas single was

leaving the courthouse with her lawyer.

You were representing Christmas single
and you didn't tell me.

I also drove her in our car.

You are never washing your feet again,
do you understand me?

I'm sorry, I need to go call everyone
I've ever met in my entire life.

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

She is, isn't she?

I've just totally fallen in love with
her, Maggie.

I know you'll be the primary caregiver
and that she'll always need to be near

you while you're nursing, but when the
time is right, I would love to talk

what kind of role I can play in her
life.

In terms of parenting, of course.

Why would you have parenting time?

Because we decided to have this baby
together. And then you bailed. I didn't

bail. You did.

Now what? Because you spent a few days
with her? That makes everything

okay? That's not what I meant. You have
no part in my daughter's life.

Do you understand me?
